Wind-generating capacity in the United States grew about 39 percent per year, and is expected to grow more rapidly as demand for renewable energy increases. As the wind energy industry continues to grow, it will provide many opportunities of growth for wind energy engineer jobs.

Solar energy systems engineers bring the power of the sun into your home or office, making this renewable energy possible. This green job is expected to grow a little slower than the average rate and has a median annual salary of $92,030.

Renewable energy produced half of all new energy generating capacity in 2012, an accomplishment in the fight against global warming. In fact, wind energy beat natural gas in new energy generating capacity. Imagine what 2013 has in store for us!

The time to invest in solar energy is now, with so many options available and government incentives, the technology can pay for itself. Understand how solar power generation works and the many different options available today.

Alternative electric suppliers can offer choice in an often one sided conversation. Lowering electric bills and using renewable energy source can often be a positive side effect as well. Understand the top reason you should consider making the switch

Understanding geothermal energy facts is the first step in helping create a sustainable future. While geological reasons may limit this renewable energy’s proliferation, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t exploit it where possible. Learn more about geothermal energy and how it works today.

There is very little the right and the left have agreed on recently, though it seems solar energy is bi-bipartisan these days. Recent surveys have found that the American voter is in favor of the renewable energy, but it also finds that misinformation is rampant.

Tidal energy is rarely mentioned as an alternative energy source, even though humans have been using it for over 1000 years. As this renewable energy source goes through a revival period, get the facts on how it works and what it can do for you.

The Production Tax Credit, or PTC has helped stimulate wind energy production and with it creating green jobs. However, Republicans are looking to cut that credit if they take the White House during the 2012 election. It is important we don’t lose our momentum in adopting renewable energy sources.
